Outreach Guidelines
Allied Efforts
- HR represents OSE, so simply be nice and express our goals
- Introduce yourself, provide TED Talk link for anyone not familiar.
- Emphasis on open source collaboration, helping each other, etc
- Best is to find and recruit a founder, community manager, or active contributor
- These 2 steps should be done together to get the fastest response:
- One: ask them what is the best place to post
- Two: post as instructed.
- If relevant - invite leaders to the Monday Dev Team meeting for a 15 minute presentation about their product (Cura, Kdenlive, etc)
- Team Meeting - finds out basics of their product, and asks for their status, roadmap, needs, collaboration possibility so OSE can help them, how we can advertise to recruit collaborators from their community
- Best workflow is contacting groups -> enlisting them -> developing curriculum -> finding OSE Devs/Documenters
Other Efforts
Other efforts may have nothing to do with Open Source, but could still have similar public-interest goals.
- Focus on the public-interest aspect of OSE work.
